Method
For the crust:

Slowly add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse or mix until the dough comes together. 4. Form the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 5. Preheat the oven to 350°F. 6. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. 7. Transfer the dough to the pie dish and trim the edges. 8. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
For the filling:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla extract, and cayenne pepper. Mix well. 2. Add the eggs and mix until well combined. 3. Gradually stir in the evaporated milk until well combined. 4. Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust. 5. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the filling is set. 6. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
Notes
Make sure to use freshly mashed sweet potatoes for the filling to get the best flavor. If you don't have a food processor or pastry blender, you can use your fingers to mix the butter into the flour. To make the crust ahead of time, you can freeze the dough for up to 3 months.

Recipe Tips
For a sweeter pie, you can add more brown sugar to the filling. If you prefer a milder spice level, you can reduce the amount of cayenne pepper. To make a gluten-free crust, you can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of regular flour.
